Giscombe Pen
Greetings, family and
fellow explorers!
I'm Lorel Morrison, aka, Shippy the Explorer—a lifelong family historian with over 30 years of dedication to unearthing the rich and vibrant legacy of the Giscombe family. My journey has taken me across continents, from the sun-drenched mountains of Jamaica to the misty highlands of Scotland, the bustling streets of England, and the wide-open landscapes of Australia. Along the way, I’ve had the honor of meeting and recording stories from countless relatives, each one a living thread in our shared tapestry.
​
I've published three books chronicling the Giscombe family history and lineage: The Prism, Three Fathers in the Life of a Child and Going Down Under, each one a labor of love and a tribute to those who came before us. Through videos, interviews, and personal explorations—many of which you can find on my YouTube channel Shippy the Explorer—I aim to preserve and celebrate our heritage with honesty, heart, and just the right dash of adventure.
​
More than anything, I cherish the moments that bring us together. Whether it’s a family reunion, a chance meeting abroad, or a shared memory rediscovered, I believe every connection strengthens the roots of our family tree.
​
Welcome to the journey—let’s explore it together.
